Investigation of suspected aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage: a single-centre quality improvement project by Michael Abouyannis, Malka Reuben, Hannah Wilder, Jis B John, Shawn Miranda, Norman Main

“…Introduction: Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) has a global incidence of 6/100,000 person-years, affects people of working age and is associated with a high case fatality rate. 1,2 Between 10% and 43% of cases present with a sentinel headache, which necessitates investigation including a non-contrast computed tomography (CT) head and lumbar puncture (LP). 3 The Ottawa SAH rule is sensitive but only 15% specific, resulting in many people being investigated.4This project assessed the investigation of suspected aSAH at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital to guide service improvements, with reference to National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines.5 Materials and Methods: Cases were identified by searching the Telepath laboratory management system for all cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples that underwent xanthochromia analysis in 2024. …”
